MEDICINE HAT, AB — The Annual Medicine Hat Police Service Open House gave residents an opportunity to see what happens behind the scenes at their local station.

All of the different departments were on display to show people that there’s more to the police than traffic stops.

You could take a tour of the headquarters, there was a demonstration from the K-9 unit and the most popular area was the tactical unit where you could check out some robotics.

Along with the open house there was a BBQ for the Chief Earl Legacy Leadership Fund. The fund in honor of Chief Earl was established in 2008 and is awarded to local grade six students who exemplify outstanding leadership skills.
